[0019] like Figures 1 to 8 The cleaning mechanism shown is suitable for an automatic bottle washing machine, comprising a cleaning bucket 1 and a cleaning brush 3, wherein the cleaning brush 3 is arranged in the cleaning bucket 1, and the cleaning bucket 1 is arranged in a U-shaped structure. The cleaning bucket 1 is coaxially arranged at the top center of the frame through a rotating mechanism 4, and at least one drain port 2 is arranged at the bottom edge of the cleaning bucket 1 to discharge the sewage generated by cleaning. A cleaning pipe 13 is coaxially arranged in the rotating mechanism 4, and the lower end of the cleaning pipe 13 extends downward out of the rotating mechanism 4 to connect to the cleaning liquid source, and the upper end of the cleaning pipe 13 penetrates upward into the cleaning bucket 1 and extends to the upper part of the cleaning bucket 1, and the cleaning pipe 13 is connected and fixed to the cleaning bucket 1 by a bearing, and a cleaning hole 15 is arranged on the cleaning pipe 13, and a bearing is arranged on the outer wall of the lower part of the cleaning pipe 13, and a support ring frame 16 is suspended outside the bearing, and the two are connected by a plurality of support rods so that the support ring frame 16 does not interfere with the rotational movement of the cleaning pipe 1, and the support ring frame 16 is coaxially arranged with the cleaning pipe 13 and the cleaning bucket 1.

[0020] The support ring frame 16 is provided with an anti-skid rubber layer 17 to better support the bottle mouth and prevent the bottle mouth from sliding and causing the bottle body to hit the cleaning pipe 13 or the cleaning bucket 1.

[0021] The top of the cleaning tube 13 is closed, and at least one cleaning hole 15 is arranged on the top. A plurality of cleaning hole groups 14 are axially arranged on the cleaning tube 13, and adjacent cleaning hole groups 14 are staggered. The cleaning hole group 14 includes at least three cleaning holes 15 combined in a circular ring shape on the cleaning tube.

[0022] The bottom of the cleaning bucket 1 is provided with a conical structure with the tip facing upward, and the liquid discharge port 2 is provided at the bottom edge of the cleaning bucket 1 .

[0023] There are at least three cleaning brushes 3 , and the height of the cleaning brushes 3 is 0.6 to 0.9 times the height of the cleaning bucket 1 .

[0024] The rotating mechanism 4 includes a slewing bearing turntable 5, a supporting column 6, an upper driving gear 7, a lower driving gear 8, a driving motor 9, and a lifting member 11. The outer ring of the slewing bearing turntable 5 is fixedly arranged on the frame through at least four supporting columns 6, the inner ring of the slewing bearing turntable 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning bucket 1, and the upper driving gear 7 is coaxially fixedly arranged outside the inner ring of the slewing bearing turntable 5. Both ends of the cleaning pipe 13 pass through the inner ring of the slewing bearing turntable 5 and are arranged with gaps between the inner ring and the outer ring. The lower driving gear 8 is arranged on the cleaning pipe 13 below the slewing bearing turntable 5. The driving motor 9 is arranged on either side of the lower part of the frame. The driving motor 9 is provided with a transmission gear 10 meshing with the upper driving gear 7 or the lower driving gear 8. The driving motor 9 drives the inner ring and the cleaning bucket 1 to rotate, while the cleaning pipe 13 is fixed. The lifting member 11 is arranged on the side wall or bottom of the driving motor 9 to control the lifting of the driving motor 9, so as to realize the switching of power transmission between the transmission gear 10 and the upper driving gear 7 or the lower driving gear 8.

[0025] A support ring plate 12 is coaxially fixed on the outer ring, and the circumference of each support column 6 is arranged at the edge of the support ring plate 12. When installed and used, the outer ring of the slewing support turntable 5 is fixed on the frame through the support ring plate 12 and the support column 6. The purpose of allowing a certain space between the slewing support turntable 5 and the frame through the support column 6 is to ensure that the lower drive gear 8 has installation space to avoid the situation where the lower drive gear 8 and the slewing support turntable 5 or the frame cannot be installed or the movement interferes, and a notch corresponding to the drive motor 9 is opened on the support ring plate 12 to match the lower drive gear 8, so as to ensure that the transmission gear 10 installed on the drive motor 9 is not interfered when rising or falling in the notch to switch power transmission.

[0026] The auxiliary brush 18 is also included, and the auxiliary brush 18 is detachably arranged at the lower part of the cleaning bucket 1 or the lower part of the cleaning brush 3. The auxiliary brush 18 is arranged in an arc or L-shaped structure that matches the neck of the narrow-mouth bottle, and effectively cleans the outer area of ​​the neck of the narrow-mouth bottle.

[0027] The auxiliary brush 18 is arranged at the lower part of the cleaning brush 3, and the two are arranged in an integrally formed structure.

[0028] The driving motor 9 is a servo motor or a variable frequency motor, and the lifting member 11 is an electric push rod, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which controls the lifting of the driving motor 9.

[0029] The pressure plate 19 also includes a pressure plate 19 and a pressure rod 20. The pressure plate 19 is connected to the pressure rod 20 through a universal joint to form a T-shaped structure. The pressure plate 19 not only limits the position of the bottle axially, but also utilizes the characteristic of arbitrary rotation of the universal joint to enable the pressure plate 19 to rotate along with the circumference of the bottle, thereby solving the problem of rotation interference. A brush matching its shape is provided on the lower surface of the pressure plate 19 to clean the outer bottom area of ​​the bottle.

[0030] The working mode of the utility model is as follows: the bottle to be cleaned is placed into the cleaning bucket 1 with the mouth of the bottle facing downward, the cleaning tube 13 is inserted into the bottle from the mouth of the bottle, and extends upward to the bottom of the bottle, while the mouth of the bottle is supported by the support ring frame 16 to prevent the bottom of the bottle from contacting the top of the cleaning tube 13, the pressure plate 19 is pressed on the outer bottom of the bottle by the pressure rod 20, and the bottle is restricted on the support ring frame 16, while realizing the position restriction, the bottle is prevented from rotating with the cleaning bucket 1, the motor is started to drive the inner ring of the slewing bearing turntable 5 to rotate through the transmission gear 10, and the cleaning bucket 1, the cleaning brush 3, and the auxiliary brush 18 are driven to rotate and brush the outer wall of the bottle, and at the same time, high-pressure cleaning liquid is input from the bottom of the cleaning tube 13, and each cleaning hole 15 sprays the cleaning liquid to flush and clean the inside of the bottle. Since the cleaning holes 15 are from bottom to top and are arranged in all directions of the cleaning tube 13, it is possible to clean every corner inside the bottle.

[0031] To ensure the thoroughness of cleaning, during the cleaning process, that is, after the outer wall of the bottle is cleaned, the lifting member 11 can be used to drive the drive motor 9 to descend, so that the transmission gear 10 descends and engages with the lower drive gear 8, and the lower drive gear 8 is driven to drive the cleaning tube 13 to rotate. During the rotation process, the cleaning tube 13 sprays cleaning liquid to flush and clean the inside of the bottle, so as to eliminate the cleaning dead zone and improve the cleaning efficiency.
